This most recent patch seems to have adversely affected Group Calendar--I see nothing currently on my Setup or Backup tabs. They just appear blank. This is occuring with everyone I know that is using Group Calendar 4.3.4. Is there something I can do to fix this bug?

We'll use the holidays to promote the addon and get the guild to upgrade and be in position to use it for 25s when we get back in full swing.

Very nice changes, thanks for the update.

Thanks Dridzt! Hope the migration goes well, it's been pretty thoroughly tested at this point so I think everything should work quite well. I'm very relieved to have finally found and fixed those annoying bugs with the data corruption.

I heard from Blizzard recently that they're loosening up some of the security on the in-game calendar APIs, so I'm hopeful that once patch 3.0.8 goes live I'll be able to resume Group Calendar 5 (which uses the Blizzard database instead of a peer-to-peer database). Unfortunately they aren't putting in role codes or attendance comments yet, but it was hinted that they may add something like that soon.

If they add that then I think I can fully (or at least 95% fully) implement the GC4 feature set into the Blizzard database for GC5. /crossesfingers

I always post my changelogs in both places to ensure people see them. People are notoriously bad about not reading them so the more visible the better in my opinion. This one is especially important because of the compatibility issues between this release and prior releases.

I'll decide for myself how to manage my own addon pages, tyvm.

Originally posted by mrdummy You don't need to post the changelog again here, if you post it also in Change log. Just make it short "Changelog has important changes" or so.

IMPORTANT: 4.3 will not talk to previous 4.x versions so your guild or alliance must all upgrade. Severing the ability to communicate with previous versions was necessary because of two serious bugs which caused your data to be modified as it got passed from player to player while you are offline. This resulted in the "your events were changed from another computer" messages and loss of events or signups if you chose to accept those changes. By not allowing 4.3 to talk to previous versions it prevents that bug from corrupting the events, but it means the guild must all update.

v4.3.3 Changes

- FEATURE: Adjusted date display on minimap button for better visibility
- FEATURE: Versions list can be reset so that only version information obtained after the reset will be displayed (does not affect events)
- FEATURE: Versions list can be sorted by version
- FEATURE: Updated German translation
- FEATURE: Added Ebonweave, Spellweave and Moonshroud cooldown support
- FEATURE: Players receive a message when they are confirmed or on standby for an event (use '/cal attend off' to disable)

4.3.x will NOT talk to earlier versions of Group Calendar. This is deliberate because a couple of major bugs were found which were causing corruption while your data was being passed around while you're offline.

Since the corruption happens from other players handling your data, the only way to eliminate the problem was to make all future versions refuse to exchange data with all older versions.

The 4.3 betas WILL talk to older versions, which I intentionally did in order to allow testing of the feature changes for debugging. 4.3 final and all other newer versions will not communicate with older versions though so a guild must upgrade as a whole.

The 4.3 final versions are currently only available on my site at wobblewoks.com. I'm only releasing them there for now because I want to limit distribution in order to eliminate any upgrade problems I can before deploying it to the masses. I plan on releasing the final versions here and on Curse before the holiday though.

Originally posted by Caiginn I've heard conflicting information, so I figure I'll ask to see if someone is certain.

Originally posted by mundocani Thanks, I'll get those added for the next build.

Is there a chance you can post 4.3.2 to WoWInterface? You reference 'next build' in your post here, but haven't updated to what 'current' is at the time of your post. Or do we need to push the site admins around a bit?
